  • Using Agrobacterium-me야ated transformation method the auxin-regulated cotton GST (Gh-5) constructs were used to transform Rehmannia glutinosa L. The PCR analysis was conducted to verify transgenicity. Based on the PCR analysis, there was verified that the 988 bp DNA band had showed in transgenic plant genomes in PCR anaJysis using Gh5-1 and Gh5-2 primers. The effects of cocultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, regeneration and selection conditions on the transformation efficiency of Chinese foxglove (Rehmannia glutinosa L.) were investigated. Factors such as cocultivation period, use of acetosyringone, postcultivation in darkness, and different kanamycin concentrations for selection were assessed. In vitro regeneration, the number of leaves, shoot lengths and numbers on MS medium were superior to on B5 and WPM medium, and the shoot formation rate was highest level of 95% in cultured base part containing leaf stalk. Addition of acetosyringone at concentration of $200{\mu}M$ to cocultivation medium and 3-day of cocultivation improved transformation frequencies. Exposure of explants to darkness for 4 weeks on selection medium resulted in further increased the regeneration frequency of transgenic shoots. In PCR analysis, the amplified fragments of Gh5 gene were detected (988 bp), and GST-expressing transgenic R. glutinosa L. plants had approximately three-fold higher activity in leaf extracts compared with control plant.

  • Several experiments were carried out to transfer LEAFY gene to Dendranthema grandiflora 'Shuho-no-chikara' by Agrobacterium LBA4404 carrying pSK109 encoding LEAFY gene. Kanamycin 10mg/L was used in first selection medium, and 20mg/L in the second one. Co-culture for 3 days was more effective in increasing transformation efficiency than that for 7 days. The transformation efficiency by Agrobacterium LBA4404 carrying pSK109 encoding LEAFY gene was about 2.8% until the second selection, but only 0.13% of shoots (two plants) was confirmed as a transgenic plants in Southern analysis. The escape of putative transformants was occured seriously in the process of selections, PCR analysis for confirming of neomycin phosphotransferaseII (npt II), and Southern analysis for LEAFY gene. One transgenic plant appeared 7 days'early flowering in field.

  • Effects of acetosyringone and on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of orchardgrass were investigated. Embryogenic calli induced from 3 varieties, Frontier, Potomac and Roughrider, were infected and co-cultured with Agrobacterium EHA101 carrying standard binary vector pIG121Hm encoding the hygromycin phosphotransferase(HPT), neomycin phosphotransferase II(NPTII) and intron-containing ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (intron-GUS) genes in the T-DNA region. The effects of varieties and acetosyringone(AS) concentrations on transformation and the expression of the GUS gene were investigated. Inclusion of $200{\mu}M$ AS in inoculation and co-cultivation media lead to a significant increase in stable transformation efficiency. Hygromycin resistant calli were developed into complete plants via somatic embryogenesis. GUS histochemical assay and PCR analysis of transgenic plants demonstrated that transgenes were integrated into the genome of orchardgrass.

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated cotyledonary-node explants transformation was used to produce transgenic melon. Cotyledonary-node explants of melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Super VIP) were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium strains (LBA4404, GV3101, EHA101) containing the binary vector (pPTN289) carrying with CaMV 35S promoter-gus gene as reporter gene and NOS promoter-bar gene conferring resistance to glufosinate (herbicide Basta) as selective agent, and the binary vector (pPTN290) carrying with Ubiquitin promoter-GUS gene and NOS promoter-nptll gene conferring resistance to paromomycin as selective agent, respectively. The maximum transformation efficiency (0.12%) was only obtained from the cotyledonary-node explants co-cultivated with EHA101 strain (pPTN289) on selection medium with 5 mg/L glufosinate and not produced a transgenic melon from the cotyledon or cotyledonary-node co-cultivated with other strains. Finally, five plants transformed showed the resistance in glufosinate antibiotic and the GUS positive response in leaf ($T_0$), flower ($T_0$), seeds ($T_1$) and plantlet ($T_1$). Southern blot analysis revealed that the gus gene integrated into each genome of transgenic melon.

  • The HCV gene was expressed in potato plants under the control of the constitutive CaMV 355 promoter or tuber-specific patatin promoter. Solanum tuberosum plants carrying a plant expression vector harboring the encoding region of HCV gene were generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in vitro transformation methods. The presence of HCV gene in the plant genome was detected by PCR and DNA hybridization experiments. We obtained the 5 lines of transgenic potato with the pMBPHCV construct and 4 lines of transgenic potato with the pATHCV construct. The HCV transgenic stably integrated into the potato genome, as well as their transcription. HCV mRNA was identified in leaf and tuber tissues of transgenic plants by Northern blot analysis. The transgenic potato plants produced the expected transcript, and the corresponding HCV protein accumulated in individual transgenic plants.

  • An Efficient in vitro regeneration system and an optimized Agrobacterium mediated transformation protocol are described, based on the use of young seedling cotyledons of Capsicum annuum L. Optimal regeneration efficiency can be obtained by cultivating cotyledon explants on media containing 4 mg/L benzyladenine and 0.1 mg/L indolacetic acid. The effect of antibiotics used to eliminate Agrobacteria, as well as the toxic level of some generally used selection agents (kanamycin, geneticin, hygromycin, phosphinotricin and methotrexate) in regenerating pepper tissues were determined. To enable the comparison of different selection markers in identical vector background, a set of binary vectors containing the marker genes for NPTII, HPT, DHFR and BAR respectively, as well as the CaMV 35S promoter/enhancer-GUS chimaeric gene was constructed and introduced into four different Agrobacterium host strains.

  • BcGRl gene encoding cytosolic glutathione reductase of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris var. Pekinensis cv. Seoul) was placed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. T$_{0}$ 32 independent plants transformed with BcGRl gene were selected with kanamycin and they were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis. Northern blot analysis revealed that the constitutive expression of BcGRl gene and there was no relationship between the copy number of introduced gene and the levels of BcGRl transcripts.
